- Joe had been suffering from essential tremor for 17 years. After his medications began losing their effectiveness, he had a consultation with Penn Medicine neurosurgeon Iahn Cajigas, MD, PhD, and decided on MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) for treatment.
MRgFUS is an incisionless, noninvasive procedure that treats movement disorders, including essential tremor and Parkinson’s Disease, through focused beams of acoustic energy. Using heat, these beams create a small, targeted lesion in the brain. This lesion destroys the tissue causing abnormal brain signals that lead to symptoms of movement disorders.
Penn Medicine is the only health system in Pennsylvania and one of the few in the Northeast to offer this procedure.

Brilliant to see new promising treatment options for PD
لايعرف معاناة مريض باركنسون الا من أصيب به. اسأل الله الشفاء للجميع.
Dr. Cajigas is legit - bravo!
Im 28 years old and started losing control over my left hand few years ago, now its even worst and now i started feeling the same thing happening to my right hand, the scary thing is that its all over my legs now, im very afraid of what might happen to me in the next year or the year after, i can clearly feel myself loosing control over my nerves and body and that scares me every day, i hope one day i might be able to go to america and take this treatment 🙏
Praying for you ❤
This treatment is available in multiple countries like India, etc. please see if those other countries might be an option which is easily accessible to you. I pray you feel better.

Joe, from your video site you were in the Coast Guard, i was also from 1963 to 67 on a 255 Ft Cutter and a 311 Ft Cutter and also have ET about 5 years now in both hands, worse in right when i hold them out straight but left hand when i make a fist, but my ET isen't as bad as yours and i stop taking meds for it cuz it didn't help the problem any. Glad your getting better with focus ultrasound. Todays date 1-29-24
Where is this place
I wonder if I would benefit from this
Brilliant. Probably really expensive
If this worked it would be curing everyone of tremors why aren't more doctor's going to this instead of medication
Exactly...just what the heck is going on here...why isnt this rolled out???
It’s a very expensive new technology requiring highly trained staff… but it’s only going to become more and more common and accessible from here!
@@jacolantern1by expensive, you mean how much?
$30,000 price tag though
It costs £25,000. But it does work.
Is this surgery also available for treating OCD?
how much dost it cost? can anyone please tell me?
Where is this hospital and how much
millions of people could benifit from this...but no hospitital have this available..WHY??????????
Fairly new. You have to select 1 side. They are trying to repeat with the other side…
I am essential tremors patient since 15 years , want treatment 😔
أين يقع هذا المستشفى وماأسمه؟ وكم تكلف العملية؟
What is the solution for this, what is the treatment for this, this is the problem with me and my age is 20 years now, so what should I do, any treatment or any treatment, I mean, what I want to take up is this message in my brain. If you can't lift it, then your hands start shaking, lala zana starts, there is an earthquake condition, so what should be done at this time, which mediation should be taken?
My name is Bakary jatta from the Gambia am suffering from essential tremor i used medication for many years but not working i need help pliz
Why doesn't it work for people with Parkinson's
How much does the treatment cost?
Medicare approved and covered. I am told that without insurance can run around $10K.
ormus and earth and grounding will help !!!!!!!!❤
I'm trying primidone, and if it cant control my tremor, I'll do this
What is primidone
There are meds…this treatment and deep brain stimulation.
The future is now!
Mine is really bad in my right hand
$30,000 price tag though
I'd happily pay it, if it will help my mom recover some quality of life.
